In VENDA NATU-haft project, Calvo Izquierdo aims at implementing the MLSE technology in their manufacturing system to produce antimicrobial and hydrophobic bandages for sanitary use, based on natural fibres.

The LIFETAN project will demonstrate innovative natural products and technologies for the degreasing, fatliquoring, bating (softening), dyeing and tanning phases of leather production. It will build on the results of previous LIFE projects that substituted toxic chemicals used during the leather tanning cycle to produce significantly more sustainable products

The Multiple Laser Surface Enhancement (MLSE) system is a revolutionary break through which enables fibres and fabrics to be converted for enhanced hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity, fire retardancy and antimicrobial functionalities without the use of chemicals or water.
